| I had me breakfast at the usual time, I was | washing the dishes at a quarter past nine |
| C | G |
| Coffee break was neither early or late, | sat down for a dinner, at twelve fifty eight |
| D | G |
| That's when she dropped, the bombshell on me, a | late arrangement for an early tea |
| G | G |
| A late arrangement for an early tea, she | had to be somewhere by six you see |
| C | G |
| I began preparations immediately, I was | peeling potatoes by a quarter to three |
| D | G |
| My | afternoon plans consigned to history, by a | late arrangement for an early tea |
| (Let go! Cos there's a lot to do, its like Jerry Lee Lewis int'it?) |
| (But I wont be stomping on the keys, cos you can damage then you know, they're only plastic) |
| D | G |
| Oh the | hurly burly of an early tea, | Purely surely I should, surely be |
| D | G |
| But when you're faced with the urgency, of an | early tea it's an emergency |
| G | G |
| Oh I was | laying the table at a quarter to four, | spinning the lettuce outside the back door |
| C | G |
| Spinning it more until my arm was sore, | But all for a purpose so the pain I ignored |
| D | G |
| It was | almost exciting, I was happy to be, in a | late arrangement for an early tea |
| (Potatoes and lettuce? Well, yes, because, you know, it was a potato salad, with a bit of quiche) |
| G | G |
| A late arrangement for an early tea, she | had to be somewhere by six you see |
| C | G |
| Then the | telephone rang and she talked for a while, when she | came off the phone, she announced with a smile |
| D | G |
| There's | been a slight change of plan happily, I'm | not going out now, let's have a late tea! |
| (Ooooph, yeah, I was furious, furious) |
